Summary

They gave him three rules that he was never to break, or at least Jensen thought there were three. He may have just stopped listening after the third. Of course, he was going to break them. They really should've seen that coming. Too bad Jensen didn't see it coming that following their lethal sniper into an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the night might end poorly.

Summary

As a gunman for hire, Cougar was paid to do a lot of things. Keep his head down, keep his guns clean, and never ask questions. It was one simple job, shoot the Russian, because he was supposed to kill a Russian for some reason, and it should have been easy. He shot the Russian, damn good shot if he did say so himself, but he hadn't planned on getting shot, finding his soul mate, or getting plunged head first into the garish scheme of things that the Chinese had planned for the rest of the world.

Summary

Jensen's not going to apologize. Vaguely implying that The Scientist was actually a murderous double biding his time to send them all through some nightmarish portal was nowhere near as bad as the things Steve Carlsburg said on average. But something hinky was going on in Night Vale, and it wasn't just the aliens trying to invade Radon Canyon.

Or the Citizens of Night Vale would like Jensen to apologize before the weather destroyed their eardrums.

Summary

The Losers are a close knit team both on missions and at home. Jensen is their techie expert and he never stops talking. Clay chews smuggled Cuban cigars and flirts with volatile women. Roque collects knives and scares off wimps with his glowering. Pooch can fix and drive or fly just about anything and he’s devoted to Jolene. Cougar is their bad ass sniper who can make the impossible shot and is taciturn and loves chocolate. Oh, and in this story, she’s Carla not Carlos. Set before, during and after the events in the movie.

Summary

Cougar isn't the least bit impressed by their temporary tech guy. Jensen is irresponsible, loud, and downright obnoxious, and Cougar dislikes him from the start. He knows it's harsh, but the military isn't a playground — and Jacob Jensen clearly doesn't belong.

But even before their mission is over Cougar realizes that first impressions are not to be trusted. And there is a lot more to Jensen than meets the eye.

Summary

Jensen's got love letters to Cougar in his bag but knows he'll never let anyone else see them. It's not that he wants to keep it a secret, he just knows that it might be best that way what with DADT, Cougar's Catholic values and the risk of getting a bullet between his eyes. Writing letters in secret is one of the few outlets Jensen has.

Summary

Over eighty years have passed since the Disaster that ended civilization and covered the world in a permanent layer of snow and ice. Humanity survived, if only barely, and have since then managed to recover a little of what it lost, building settlements and rediscovering technology to help them in their struggle. Every settlement relies on technology for their survival and the Engineers are the ones tasked with maintaining and building it, but despite their importance the Engineers are a dying breed.

Jake and his sister live under constant threat of being kidnapped or enslaved for the skills they possess, so he has learned to be wary of strangers — Raiders in particular, who murder and steal without remorse. But that changes when he meets a Raider he can't quite bring himself to hate. Cougar is different, and causes a myriad of conflicting emotions that Jake would rather not feel to being with.

But when it turns out that Cougar might be able to lead Jake to the key to humanity's continued survival he decides to embark on the biggest adventure of his life, trust issues be damned. It soon becomes obvious that it won't be an easy journey, for more than one reason.

Summary

If Steve was the lynchpin and Johnny was the watcher, Jensen was the wolf, teeth always bared and bloody as he waited for his next meal.

Morality was fluid, a means to an end as far as he was concerned. There were things that he needed to protect; people he’d die for and because of that he’d warped himself into what Steve couldn’t be.

He’d taken every word, every hit and twisted them until the people who’d hurt them were nothing but fuel, a source of heat and warmth that kept all of them moving forward, their eyes locked on their individual goals while Jensen stayed behind, licked the blood of his fur and started again.
